UCT endeavours to assist as many financially needy students as possible to enable them to pursue their academic ambitions. The university has committed significant funds for financial assistance to support financially needy students that meet the eligibility criteria. Applicants who wish to apply for financial aid should complete Section J of the Application for Admission to Study at UCT form in full.

From 2008, enrolled students with citizenship in SADC countries will be considered for UP undergraduate achievement bursaries provided they meet the criteria. For UP postgraduate bursaries non-South African citizens are also considered for awards.

Unfortunately the University does not offer financial support (bursaries, loans) for international students. Ensure that you have sufficient financial resources for the planned duration of your studies.

Unfortunately financial assistance is only available to permanent residents of South Africa. However, Merit bursaries are automatically awarded to deserving full-time international students from SADC-countries from their second year of study at the Kingsway Campus of UJ.

International students from the DFC and APB-campuses who have obtained excellent scores in their first year of study at UJ should apply for these merit bursaries.

All foreigners are eligible for Postgraduate bursaries and should apply for it.

I am aspiring to study for an MSc Information Systems/IT/Computer Science or an MTech degree. For the past two and a half years I have continually been accepted at various universities in South Africa, including NMMU and UCT. I have however been unable to undertake the programme because each time I could not secure a scholarship/bursary, as the available ones were predominantly for SA nationals. If anyone/any entity has information as to how I can secure funding, please advise, or contact me on musakhml@gmail.com. Thank you
